Black-throated Mango

A large, striking hummingbird of tropical forests from southern Mexico to Argentina, black-throated mangos have dramatic sexual dimorphism — males display glittering black throat and breast with violet and green flanks and a bold purple tail, while females are white below with a central black stripe. Inhabiting forest edges, clearings, and gardens, they aggressively defend flowering trees. Males perform spectacular aerial display flights at treetop height. Listed as Least Concern across their broad neotropical range.

Lysobacter enzymogenes is a Gram-negative, gliding bacterium renowned for its exceptional production of extracellular lytic enzymes including proteases and beta-glucanases. It inhabits soil environments globally and is studied for its biocontrol potential against plant pathogens. This predatory bacterium feeds on other microorganisms by enzymatic lysis.
